Chapter 29: Women are not allowed in?

  Luo Xiaotong chuckled and said, "Sister, I really didn't know that today we would have another teacher."

  Just as he was about to make a joke, a sudden gust of cold wind blew, causing Luo Xiaotong's body to feel icy cold. He almost stuck himself to Xiao Ye's side.

  Xiao Ye wasn't much better off either, her whole body trembling as she burrowed into Luo Xiaotong's arms.

  If it were any other time, Luo Xiaotong would have been overjoyed - a beautiful woman throwing herself at him was naturally something to be thrilled about. But now, in the middle of nowhere and scared half to death, he didn't have that kind of mood anymore.

  After all, he's a man, and with just one man and one woman, it's only natural to act like a man: "Don't be afraid, Little Ye." Luo Xiaotong tried his best to calm himself down: "This is just a sudden gust of wind on flat land, it's a natural phenomenon." He comforted others with his words, but in his heart, he was scared to death and wished he could grow two wings.

  With something to rely on, Xiao Ye calmed down and plucked up the courage to let Luo Xiaotong take a look at the time. Under the light of the flashlight, the time on the mobile phone had already passed 12 o'clock. Luo Xiaotong looked at her: "Where's your sister?" The tone was full of discontent. Being deceived by Xiao Ye and brought here, he was worried and frightened. He really regretted it. If Xiao Ye wasn't beautiful, if he hadn't been curious, he would never have come to such a ghostly place.

  Xiao Ye also sensed Luo Xiaotong's discontent and was mentally calculating, wondering if she had made a mistake. Dreams were not supposed to be trusted in the first place. But she couldn't help feeling unwilling to give up, since they had come this far, they might as well get to the bottom of it. Summoning her courage, she spoke out loud in front of the grave: "Sister, I dreamed about you last night, and you told me to bring Luo Xiaotong here. Now that we're here, if your spirit really exists, come out."

  As soon as the words fell, a faint voice came from behind the two: "Who are you looking for?" This sentence made Luo Xiaotong almost faint. Fortunately, he and Xiao Ye were leaning on each other, barely standing upright. The two turned their heads, immediately stunned. In front of them, within arm's reach, stood a beautiful girl. Without moonlight, without flashlights, she was still clearly visible. The atmosphere was eerie, making one's hair stand on end.

  "Who are you?" Luo Xiaotong wanted to run away, but on the one hand his legs were weak, and on the other he couldn't bear to abandon Xiao Ye, so he gritted his teeth and asked the man back.

  "I am the gatekeeper here," said the girl. Her voice was cold and emotionless, filling Luo Xiaotong's body with a chill in this season. He couldn't help but shiver, forcing a smile: "Sister, are you joking? There is no courtyard here, where would there be a gatekeeper?"

  The girl didn't answer, but pointed with her hand: "How can there not be? Isn't that it?"

  Lu Xiaotong followed the direction of his finger and looked over, where Xiao Ye's grave was earlier, a magnificent ancient-style building stood tall, with bright lights shining, and the grave had disappeared without a trace. Lu Xiaotong thought he was seeing things, rubbed his eyes, and took another careful look, but it was still the same. He felt uneasy and puzzled in his heart, and asked Xiao Ye: "Did you see it too?" Xiao Ye nodded, under the shining lights, her eyes also showed a terrified expression.

  Lu Xiaotong was delighted in his heart. Heh heh, you wanted to come, but you're so scared. Although he thought so in his mind, he himself was also frightened and jumped with fear, and must have encountered a ghost and arrived at some place in the underworld. But there's no way out, since he had come here, he should just make do with it.

  She wanted to turn around and look at the girl, but the girl had already walked up to her: "How did you find this place?" The tone was full of vigilance. Xiao Ye didn't dare speak, with tears welling up in her eyes. This wasn't because she was heartbroken, it was fear. Luo Xiaotong stood up straight and stared at the girl: "We came as promised."

  The girl was elegant and refined, charming and captivating. With a gentle smile, she asked: "Can you tell me who invited you?"

  "It's Chun Lü," said Luo Xiaotong: "Do you have this person here?" His eyes stared at the girl without blinking, and as soon as she shook her head to say no, Luo Xiaotong would immediately pull Xiao Ye and run away.

  However, the girl nodded: "Yes, we have a Spring Green here, it's our red card." She stared at Luo Xiaotong, and suddenly the spring breeze was blowing: "This young man, are you a civil servant or a big shot?" Luo Xiaotong didn't understand the meaning of this sentence: "Sister, what does this have to do with us finding Spring Green?" The girl smiled and said: "Of course it has something to do with it, this is a high-end entertainment place, if you're not a civil servant or a big shot, then please go somewhere else."

  Unexpectedly, the underworld also knows that civil servants and big shots are all rich people. Luo Xiaotong's mind was quick: "You're right." The girl immediately smiled and came over to grab Luo Xiaotong's hand: "Sister will take you in." Before Luo Xiaotong could react, she had already taken a step forward. Luo Xiaotong couldn't help but follow, his hand feeling warm, his heart feeling hot.

  As she walked to the door, the girl turned around and looked at Xiaoye who was closely following Luo Xiaotong: "I'm very sorry, we have rules here, women are not allowed in." Her voice was cold and unfriendly. Xiaoye glanced at Luo Xiaotong and said to the girl: "Aren't you a woman too?" As soon as she spoke, the girl's face immediately changed color: "Do you know what kind of place this is? It's Chunxiangyuan, of course I can come in, but you're not a man, nor are you one of us, so naturally you can't come in."

  Lu Xiaotong was confused, but also vaguely understood what this place was, and was a little scared.

  Xiao Ye listened and understood, so she furrowed her brow: "Little Tong Ge, we're not going in." She grabbed Luo Xiao Tong and was about to leave. The girl glared at them, her eyes blazing with anger: "You're blocking our way to wealth!" Suddenly, she stretched out her hands and pushed Xiao Ye. Her movements were swift, and before Xiao Ye could react, she had already fallen to the ground.

  Lu Xiaotong looked at the girl in surprise, not expecting her to have such great strength. He intended to bend down and help up Xiao Ye, but was pulled back by his mother. Lu Xiaotong felt displeased: "What is this girl doing?" The girl smiled, pointing to the gate of Chunxiangyuan: "Young master is already our guest at Chunxiangyuan, I'm doing this for our guest." Her words were firm and didn't allow any refutation.

  Luo Xiaotong looked at the little leaf that had just climbed up and asked the girl, "What about her?" The girl didn't even look at Little Leaf and said casually, "We don't welcome women to visit, let her go back by herself." Her face was cold and unyielding, leaving no room for negotiation.

  It seems that letting Xiaoye in is impossible, but it's also not possible to just leave her here. Luo Xiaotong's courage surged up and he said: "Sister, you see, we came together after all, how can I go in and leave her alone in this wilderness? It's too unreasonable. Is there any other way?" Seeing the girl had no reaction, he threatened: "If you don't agree, then I won't go in either. You can't force me to go in, that would be heartless." As he spoke, he pretended to try and break free from the girl's hand.

  The girl looked at him without seeing his heart, unaware that he was pretending to be willing to let go. Hehe smiled and said: "If you don't go in, you won't see the spring green girl." Luo Xiaotong said: "She is Spring Green's sister, I threw her here, if she saw Spring Green sister, she would also be unhappy." The girl lowered her head and thought for a moment before raising it: "Young brother, this is an unprecedented case here, today I will take the liberty of breaking the rule once, let her in. However, she can only wait in the side room inside the door and cannot move around at will." She stared at Little Ye, then said: "If you agree, I'll take you in."

  At this point, Xiao Ye was already at a loss for words, looking at Luo Xiaotong, and could only nod. As he was about to enter the door, the girl reminded him again: "If you don't keep your promise, we'll drive you out at any time." She seemed to be the mistress of this place, with a firm attitude that did not allow disobedience. Xiao Ye had no choice but to reiterate his commitment to keeping his word.

  As they entered the gate, no one was in sight, but the sound of laughter echoed faintly, and it seemed lively. Next to a house, the girl asked Luo Xiaotong to wait, and she took Xiao Ye inside. Xiao Ye followed behind, when the door opened, a fragrant scent wafted out, and the interior was tastefully decorated, seemingly a woman's boudoir.

  "Just wait here," the girl said: "You can't come out until Little Brother comes out, otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences." After finishing speaking, she turned around and went out, closing the door with her hand. Xiao Ye thought she would lock it from the outside, but the girl didn't do that.
